JRH Lay Leadership Programs … Outreach to Our Parishes!
Our Lay Leadership Program Director, Martha Campbell, reports that there are still a few spaces in our 2015-2016 program year and we are now taking registrations for our 2016-2017 program year. Time to plan ahead! Consider one of our spirituality programs for your parish. Teams of qualified lay leaders are prepared to share our programs based on The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Here is a brief synopsis of what we can offer on-site at your parish:
The Pilgrim Way of Ignatius Loyola offers a “taste of Ignatian Spirituality,” the spirituality of Pope Francis, which nurtures openness to the call of God in our lives. Some questions addressed in the program include: What happens when you encounter Christ? Is it possible to
find God in all things? (4-part series, 90 minute sessions)
Praying with St. Ignatius Retreat-in-Daily-Life follows the pattern set out by The Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius Loyola. Now in its 10th with revisions along the way, this retreat
has set hearts on fire with love for Jesus Christ! (8-part series, 2 hour sessions)
The Called and Sent Spiritual Formation Program, grounded in the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola, nurtures spiritual deepening in individuals and communities for service of Christ’s mission in the world. This program is comprised of six modules which can be taken
individually or as a series.
Ignatian Foundations introduces key aspects of Ignatian Spirituality (prayer,
discernment, action for justice): 6 monthly 2-hour sessions and a day-long retreat.
Encountering Jesus Christ focuses on “interior knowledge of Jesus Christ” which is experienced through Ignatian contemplation of the Gospels: 6 weekly 90 minute
sessions and a day-long retreat.
Discernment and Decision-Making applies practical knowledge and application of “discernment of spirits” and decision making according to the teaching of Ignatius
Loyola: 6 weekly 2-hour sessions and a day-long retreat.
The Christian at Work in the World is offered in two parts: A) Catholic Social Teaching: and B) Work-Place Spirituality. Each part, which can be taken together or separately,
consists of 3 bi-weekly 2-hour sessions and a half-day retreat.
Embracing the Mystery addresses landmarks on the spiritual journey including suffering and death, redemption and grace: 3 monthly 3-hour sessions and an
overnight retreat.
Living Prayer Retreat-in-Daily Life centers on life in the Spirit including personal prayer, spiritual direction, liturgy and sacraments: 6 weekly 2-hour sessions.
